Dead dead child, ring 'round this rose
They're not kings, so why do thee bow
Is this life, that you have chose?
Or just the one, that you allowed?
In this place, where thoughts are froze
Yet still somehow, race all around
Held right up, to feed thee crows
Can only fly, as far as chains are bound
A lone castaway, where dreams distill past the mist
to drift to an unknown nothingness
And we instead adopt a manuscript on what freedom is
And work your life away until nothing left
Oh my God, I swear we're trying
Then why is it, compassion's dying
For fellow mankind, I'll stop crying
But by then, we'll all be dead
Damn Mother Earth's calamities are still there
Ain't nay not one, gonna pretend to care
Rather than a brother or sister prosper n be rising
We tear each other down so at least we're all falling
Who created these illusions of Us vs Them
Lying that it's not Us, it's Them vs Them
The Earth is flat dear, it's got one side
And we're all on it, hahaha
Can't tell that joke anymore, cus in world with no more truth
People take, it literally
We're just killing, to survive shackles ruthless
Lest' we're willing, to obey what say natural be
I see a future, where there's no each other
Yet presently, each other we're killing
Suture human family, while one another we're pulling
Mother says in due time dear, but we won't stop drilling
Oh my God, I swear we're trying
Then why is it, compassion's dying
For fellow humankind, we'll stop preying (praying)
But by then, we'll all be dead
They say united we stand, divided we fall
And there shall be no, conquering us all
I'd say we should all, come together
But now even children eat their young
